235: Chapter 234 Wang Shuo's Confidence

From the moment Wu Xie and Wang Shuo signed the contract, the Female Assistant following by Wu Xie's side wore a heavy expression. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Wu Xie sat in the car and drove out of the Software Park that she finally spoke.

"Assistant General Manager, isn't your direct investment of 500 million into Frontier Technology this time a bit too rash?"

The Female Assistant frowned and said, "This amount has far exceeded the limit approved by the Board of Directors. I'm afraid the Board of Directors…"

"Ignore them," Wu Xie said indifferently.

The Female Assistant's brow furrowed even tighter. She didn't want to ignore them either, but such a large transfer of funds must be approved by the Board of Directors. Arguing with the Board of Directors in this situation would likely cause trouble.

Regardless of the reason the Assistant General Manager signed the investment contract with Frontier Technology, since it was signed, she had to find a way to fulfill it. That was her duty.

The Female Assistant frowned and thought carefully about how to write the report. She didn't speak again, and the car fell silent for a moment.

Wu Xie slightly raised his head, looked at the Female Assistant who was working earnestly, and cast his gaze out the window.

In his mind, he was still recalling Wang Shuo's words after the contract was signed.

"General Manager Wu, whether you believe me or not, this will be the most correct choice you have ever made in your life."

That brilliant smile was still as if it were right before his eyes.

It seemed that, regardless of whether he believed it himself, this guy certainly believed his own future was limitless.

He didn't know where he got such confidence.

Wu Xie helplessly shook his head slightly, came back to his senses, and ordered, "Xiao He."

The Female Assistant looked up upon hearing this.

"Send out the document we signed with Chuangshi Machinery Factory. I want to see it appear on the trending list at this time tomorrow."

His voice was indifferent, but his tone was unquestionable.

The Female Assistant was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Okay, Assistant General Manager, I will take care of it right away."

Wu Xie nodded slightly and cast his gaze out the window again.

This time, a faint, imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

…On the other side, inside Frontier Company.

Wang Shuo had already returned to his third floor.

This floor had been turned into a dedicated area for Zero. To make communicating with Zero more convenient, he had installed multiple sound pickup devices and high-precision cameras, and even adapted a small mechanical arm to serve him tea and pour water when Xu Kexin was not around.

Besides that, what this floor had the most of were screens.

Just for 50-inch LCD TVs, he had installed four of them, connected in series and placed horizontally in front of the sofa, looking very much like a simple control center.

Of course, it would be even better if the annoying cross-divider lines on the screens could be removed.

But complaints aside, it had to be said that this massive, pieced-together screen made his typing work much easier.

At this moment, Wang Shuo was sitting on the sofa, while Liu Yemei was sitting on the other side.

Looking at Liu Yemei's upright sitting posture and her serious expression, Wang Shuo, who had been a bit excited, couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

"Sister Liu, can you relax a little? You're making me feel very uncomfortable."

Liu Yemei shook her head: "General Manager Wang, when reporting work, it is better to be more serious; it is more conducive to cultivating a superior-subordinate relationship."

Liu Yemei paused and added: "Including Xu Kexin and Han Xiaoxin, I hope you can be more formal when interacting with them."

Well, this was the first time Wang Shuo had seen an employee set rules for the boss.

He rubbed his head and smacked his lips: "Fine, let's start then."

"Mm." Liu Yemei nodded slightly, picked up the folder on her side, opened it, scanned it, and reported: "First matter."

"Donghai City sent a message. On December 20th, which is the morning after tomorrow, there will be a product tender in Donghai City. The bidding project is high-performance materials and their products. Lin Junfeng asked me to ask you if Frontier Technology wants to participate?"

"There's such a thing?" Wang Shuo showed an interested expression: "Have you found out exactly what the project is?"

"Not yet. The specific tender announcement won't be out until tomorrow."

"I see…" Wang Shuo was slightly speechless. It was an open tender, yet the announcement was released so late; how were other companies supposed to play? Are you sure this isn't openly opening the back door?

Seemingly seeing Wang Shuo's confusion, Liu Yemei said: "This tender is for a professional field. Screening has already been done in the early stages. All shortlisted companies are companies with production qualifications and products, so there is no issue with deadlines."

In other words, if asked to bring them, they could produce the products at any time.

Wang Shuo nodded slightly; this actually ensured fairness to a certain extent.

Of course, for a company like theirs that entered temporarily, this was extremely unfair.

However, Wang Shuo didn't care, nodded, and said: "Let's participate. Just take the high-polymer polyethylene. I only have one requirement: quality must be guaranteed."

Just kidding, if they were unlucky enough to win the bid, it would be something to be supplied to the military. If they passed off inferior goods as quality and problems arose, Lin Junfeng wouldn't have enough heads to lose.

Regarding this point, Wang Shuo, who often spent time with Zheng Yi, was well aware.

"Okay, I will notify Lin Junfeng and let them start preparing now."

"Wait." Wang Shuo exhaled slightly: "Since we are bidding, we must bring out good things. Bringing out bad things will just make people laugh. I will redesign the production process for high-polymer polyethylene in a moment. Sister Liu, have General Manager Lin rebuild the production line according to the new process."

"Okay." Liu Yemei did not hesitate; she never talked too much about these technical issues.

"Second matter." Liu Yemei turned the file to the next page and said: "Instructor Duan Chengwu has already selected the address for the Security Company. It is located in a factory building outside the Third Ring Road of Hanzhong City, just ten minutes away from the warehouse area. Instructor Duan Chengwu's intention is to buy it directly, including the above-ground buildings and the land."

"So fast?" Wang Shuo was a bit surprised, then felt a bit ashamed.

Running around these past few days, he had neglected Instructor Duan Chengwu. He thought he would wait for his news, but he didn't expect him to fully exert his subjective initiative and start preparing for the Security Company himself.

This was… awkward.

After all, the original intention of establishing the Security Company was entirely to protect himself and the people around him. Of course, there was another important purpose, which was to legally possess a Weapon.

Only by being able to possess a Weapon could Wang Shuo fully exert his advantages. Otherwise, on this land of China, he wouldn't be able to jump around for many days before being dealt with.

The road still had to be walked step by step.

He had already made a good start.

"Give it to him. Give him whatever he needs. Let him handle the specific matters."

This could also be considered a small test.

Liu Yemei nodded again.

"Third matter." "General Manager Wang, this matter is quite important."

Liu Yemei's voice sank slightly: "Just last night, someone on the forum posted a thread calling for refunds. As of now, nearly thirty percent of prospective users have initiated refunds, and our capital reserves are very tight."

zero egg had already been pre-sold in two batches, each with a quota of 20,000. Thirty percent of users had already reached 12,000 people, involving refund amounts reaching as much as 150 million.

This was almost approaching the liquidity limit of Frontier Technology.

If the situation continued to develop, once the amount exceeded the working capital limit, all that awaited Frontier Technology would be an even more terrifying run on funds.

By then, even if they could deliver the zero egg on schedule, it would be useless. Even the most rational people would be swept along by this group of people with ulterior motives toward irrationality.

"Mm." Wang Shuo nodded slightly, looking very calm: "If they want to refund, give them the refund. Note that the refund time should not exceed one hour at most. We must ensure user experience."

Liu Yemei was slightly speechless. She very much admired Wang Shuo's calmness, but at a time like this, was it really the time to consider user experience?

"I will have to trouble you, Sister Liu, with this matter. I will temporarily give you Zero's level three authorization, and you can directly have Zero report to you."

"I understand."

Liu Yemei could only nod. Fortunately, General Manager Wang had brought in 500 million in investment for the company today. As long as the investment could be in place, the missing working capital would be replenished.

And they didn't need to wait too long.

The delivery date for the first batch of zero egg was approaching. As long as they could hold on for these few days, once the zero egg began to be delivered successively, all the doubts they were currently facing would turn into passing clouds.

This was where their confidence lay.
